Best algorithm, ever.
How about Dragon Naturally Speaking? It doesn't run on Ubuntu so I haven't tried it, but their video sure is convincing:

I will probably start contributing to this FOSS voice-recognition implementation:

I'm pretty sure we're talking about MS (www.getthefacts.com) and not about sex education (www.getthefacts.org).
Did you somehow miss the part about MS screwing customers?
Not that one. Fx 3.5 highlights a bug in the slashcode. What you are seeing in Chrome is added to every textarea automatically by Chrome itself, not a bug in the slashcode.
Even tho it's early in the century, it might well be the longest eclipse of the century. I imagine that the calculations to predict eclipses and their duration would be relatively straightforward by modern standards. You probably wouldn't even need to take relativity into account.

How about the kid under his father with the camera. The kid is obviously looking right at the event!
The nicest picture of the eclipse was posted here, though:

I literally said "wow" out loud when I saw that.

Sounds like he may have taken the term "fraud squad" in the opposite of the way it is (ostensibly) intended...
You obviously are unfamiliar with what a "fireman" does to books.

Not necessarily.
I can imagine a thin film of black carbon absorbing the laser pulse and converting it into heat right on the lens. Iâ(TM)m not sure what theyâ(TM)re made of, but I do hope the research includes the possibility of melting. Spark plugs are made of ceramic instead of glass for a reason as it has superior heat and electrical insulation properties.
The laser plugs in TFA are modified sparkplugs. They just removed the core, cut off the ground electrode, and put lenses in place.
C4 and other explosives use a carefully controlled combination of pressure and temperature. In fact, those explosives can be set alight, and used to cook dinner, because the spark isn't what detonates them.
The problem with cooking dinner on burning C4 is putting it out. It burns nice and slow and even, great for cooking. But let me tell you: don't try stomping it out with your boot when you're done!
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
